COLE YOUNGER
I am a highway bandit man Cole Younger is my name From many depredations Has brought my friends to shame.
A robbing of them Northfield banks Which I cannot deny,
And now I am a poor prisoner,
In Stillwater jail I lie.
We robbed him of his money my boys, And bid him go his way,
In which I will be sorry of Until my dying day.
Well hand us over your money, my boys, And don't make no delay.
We are the bandit Younger boys And spare no time to pray.
